 | Course Description
This FDA required instructional course is modeled after the highly successful courses conducted in Oxford, England over the past decade and includes several didactic presentations on design rationale, clinical history and surgical technique. The course also includes a live surgical presentation and an Oxford® Partial Knee workshop where surgeons will use Oxford® instruments to implant devices onto dry bones (with anteromedial arthritis), which were specifically designed for this course.
These courses are strategically placed in various regions of the country to offer training to all surgeons. The training sessions, which are staffed by Oxford® Partial Knee designing surgeons, along with faculty from the United States, provide surgeons with practical hands-on experience to learn the Oxford® Partial Knee surgical technique utilizing the patented instrumentation system.
The Oxford® Partial Knee is clinically proven at 10, 15, and 20 years1 and offers less postoperative pain2*, less bone removal2* and more natural motion2*. |
